Power Supply Adapter to run a desktop PC?

[Canada EH]

I saw one of Linus' video's that has a small computer using two power supply adapters and an onboard motherboard DC-DC converter, and a very proprietary custom motherboard.

I doubt the power supply adapters are proprietary?

 

So if from the 24 pin ATX PSU pinout you get +12V, -12V, 5V, 3.3V, what other voltages would you need to run? PCIe, CPU, Peripheral and SATA.

 

This is the Zotac Magnus EN980 and has 2 x 180W at 19.5V Power Supply Adapters

Those are all of them. Though the -12V isn't really used.

If your interested in a mini PSU they do make DC-DC units like this, as mentioned all those voltages are what would be required to run a system.

Be best to get a brand name component, then a generic ebay component.

 

I have been thinking about building my own very compact pc.

 

 

Very interesting stuff
